Yeah, there were rumors of all the Bonds, but Connery appearing, and all sorts of other goodies. I sat through the whole thing waiting for the payoff. I thought Bassey was a kick-ass start to something great, but turns out that's all there was. I know everyone loves Adele, but Skyfall is a good Bond tune because of the music, not the singer (unlike Bassey who brings something extraordinary to everything she belts out). The arrangement for the Oscars was blah. She did not make it less blah. The CD single out there is much better and if you doubt me, get the import version that also has the song without the vocals. Pure Bond. So there!

It took quite a while, but I'm nearly finished getting all the Bond movies on Blu Ray. I just need Skyfall and the Woody Allen Casino Royal. I'm pretty impressed by how most of the movies look now. Diamonds are Forever and A View to a Kill look almost new. Still doesn't make the last hour of Octopussy any better though.

From the immense private collection of the intelligence historian H. Keith Melton, and the collections of the C.I.A., the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Reconnaissance Office, are objects ranging from a poisoned needle, hidden inside a coin, to a fragment of the United States Embassy in Moscow that the Soviets riddled with bugs during its construction in the 1980s.

The Miami Auto Museum at the Dezer Collection’s James Bond Exhibit includes an array of automobiles, motorcycles, submarines, airplanes, helicopters, boats, and snow mobiles. The collection is home to the golden gun itself, a T-55 Soviet tank featured in the 1995 Bond film Goldeneye, a BD-5 Microjet, and six Aston Martins, among many other props.
